This article describes the response of African American citizens to the ordinance recently passed by the Montgomery city council, which requires segregation on street cars. Although there is "no organized boycott," most African American preachers have advised their congregations "not to show any hostile spirit, but to accept the ordinance and walk rather than patronize the car companies." According to a "negro physician of intelligence," the African Americans' biggest complaint is not separation but the ordinance's provision that gives conductors power to enforce the law: "He said that the negro only desired fair treatment and would welcome separate cars with good accommodations, but feared unjust treatment from car employes [sic], who were given police power." |
